Explain why Georg Simmel can be regarded as a micro-sociologist. Use a practical example from the economic institution of a society to support your explanation.

Because his research was focused on the analysis of the social relationship between individuals in modern life and amidst all the constantly changing factors that society was experiencing.

Explanation:

Microsociology is the strand of sociology that seeks to understand the relationships between individuals that make up a society, in relation to the beliefs, values, feelings and behaviors that each individual has. Georg Simmel was a strong scholar of this, but he turned his studies to the analysis of modern life and the factors that modernity imposes on society. For this reason, he can be considered a micro-sociologist.

We can use as an example of something that would attract the attention of Georg Simmel for his studies, a society in which social agents act due to the economy, changing the relationship of society in relation to economic status and thus, generating malefic or beneficial consequences.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
